The Big Move

Today, just after sunset, a team of eager beekeepers headed out to Yale West Campus to move our hives from their old location by the Molecular Innovations Center to their permanent home at the Yale West Campus Urban Farm.  Now they can warmly and safely pass the winter nestled in their grove of growing dogwood trees!

Bees' New HomeHappy Wintering!!

 

Winter is Coming

Last week, Bee Space paid a visit to Yale West Campus Urban Farm to get our bees ready for winter.  We fed the hives with a sugar solution, insulated the boxes to keep them warm as the temperature drops, and planted dogwood trees to protect the hives from the elements.  Next week, we will move the hives into their new grove and they will officially be ready for winter!!Bee Secrets Planting Dogwood Trees The Crew Insulating the Hives Inspecting
